Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts where Denas's theme is to incorporate stencil's into our work. Prizes come from Oakwood and Highlight Crafts.
Above a Highlight Crafts TV sample using the new MCS Floral Extravaganza and A5 stencil collection, the base tag is AALL and Create, an oxide spray background and stencilling with distress crackle paste.
The image on this is one of several on AALL and Create Crystal Wood (864), Stamped and unusually for me coloured in, some stencilling using Twisting and Turning (157) and words from Power of the Word (754).
I also have a share for the new Rudolph Days challenge, a mixture of Lavinia, AALL and Create and my own seasonal sentiment stamps.
Finally, a date for the rescheduled hospital treatment, it's this coming week the day after our Buckingham Palace trip for eldest Son's investiture, not ideal timing but so pleased it's eventually happening as my body seems to have reached rock bottom.
Which means I'll be MIA much of the week so see you all soon.
As always beautiful inspirational makes Brenda,hope you have good weather and wonderful day at your son's investiture and all goes well in hospital

Your tag and cards showcase a beautiful blend of techniques and products, from the intricate stenciling with distress crackle paste to the carefully colored image from AALL and Create Crystal Wood. It's wonderful to see your creativity shine through, even amidst the busyness of rescheduled hospital treatments and family events. Wishing you strength and positivity as you navigate through this challenging time.
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful creations here Brenda, the stencils make such great backgrounds and love the way you combined Aall and Create's Robin with the Lavinia stamps for the Rudolph Day card.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are finally having your appointment and hope you have a wonderful day at your son's investiture.

The robin card is so beautiful, I love the delicate wreath all stamped in colour.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes smoothly this week and enjoy Buckingham palace. Imagine you may meet the King in person!!! x
Love the tag and the card for Allsorts, as well as the sweet Robin card for Rudolph Day.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the Palace!
Wishing you third time lucky for the following day and a speedy recovery thereafter. xxx
Ciao Brenda, Wow!!! Che incredibile dimensione ha il vaso di papaveri nella tag!! Credo che tu l'abbia un po' modellato, mi sbaglio? Un effetto strepitoso con il pattern delicato che riprende quello vibrante dello sfondo! I papaveri sono magnifici e che colori brillanti, fantastica!! La adoro!
ReplyDeleteMi piace molto la linea sinuosa dello stencil nella seconda card, dà molto movimento a quel timbro interessante! E la card di Natale è così dolce con il delizioso uccellino e la splendida ghirlanda! Il tuo bellissimo sentiment che si appoggia sul sole con i bordi sfumati è davvero d'effetto, un'altra cosa che devo ricordarmi! Sei sempre ispiratrice!!
Sono contenta per te, la prossima settimana sarà piena di ottime novità!
Un grande abbraccio!!!
I just love the tag and how you carried the stenciling to the vase with a neutral color. It looks fantastic! The stenciled floral extravaganza looks beautiful too. I hope your son's special event goes well and I'm praying for good results from your procedure afterward. Just keep thinking good thoughts and I'll be sending up prayers and sending hugs your way in the meantime. Take good care!
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous cards! Wishing you all the best finally for the hospital treatment, and hope you have a fabulous time at the investiture.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we've lost the ideal end to the season!
Great use of your stencils and stamps to create these beautiful cards and tag- such different effects achieved with the techniques you employed with the stencils.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day at your son's investiture- try not to burst with pride! Fingers crossed all goes well with the procedure.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards with fabulous stencils.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the op, you proud mama;-))m
Fabulous cards as always B! I adore your Rudolph Days one - so elegant. Exactly as you will look at the Investiture - elegant. Photos are needed. I owe you an email but meanwhile I hope that this coming week goes really well - both at the Palace, the rather posh bash afterwards - and finally your procedure! Positive thoughts are with you all the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play with us in April's Rudolph Days Challenge.
Hugs

Gorgeous creations, do love the first one with that vibrant green stencilling, looks great used on the vase in a more muted tone too. Enjoy your special trip to the palace - im sure it will be a day to remember and good luck at the hospital. I always think as crafters its a shame we can't make new body parts and fix ourselves up:-) Emmax
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards as always Brenda, a lovely combination of stamping, stenciling and inkiness.
ReplyDeleteLorraine
Beautiful Christmas inspiration, Brenda - very elegant.

Such beautiful cards, Brenda! I'm especially drawn to the Christmas card! Enjoy the exciting time at the palace and hope you get a lot of relief from the procedure. Hugs, Greta
ReplyDeleteHi, B. Your use of stencils always wows me, but I especially like today's samples. The repeating pattern on the vase and background in different colors is a wonderful design idea - I never would have thought to do that! But my fave is your "dance in the rain" masterpiece. those opposite colors and wavy lines bring out the idea of the scent of flowers wafting in the garden. Really lovely! I always forget to use my Lavinia stamps, and they really are conducive to pretty backgrounds like your sweet bird! Thinking of you fondly, and always wishing for miraculous breaks to happen for your health. love, de
